Podcast: The Evolution of Spotify

Spotify has become a staple on smartphones. It may even be the way you’re listening to The Readback. Your view on the company, though, likely depends on where you sit. Users love the service, artists fret about it, and investors are somewhere in between.

This week on The Readback, Alex Eule is joined by Barron’s senior writer Avi Salzman who has recently written a cover story about how Spotify has become both a music behemoth as well as a relative newcomer that is struggling to find its place in the industry.
